While most Texas homeowners pay extra property taxes, there are several simple steps you can take to limit your tax bill. Market value property tax appeals save homeowners an average of $500, according to Texas Comptroller Glen Hager, for 2019. Property owners can appeal both market value and unequal appraisal. Property tax appeals are often won with a smile and a bit of data. 

Some property owners do not appeal due to a concern the appraisal district will want to inspect their house.  However, the appraisal district is MUCH too busy during the appeal season to even think about asking to inspect a property.  Assessors do not visit houses because of appeals. It is difficult for appraisal districts to accurately value houses due to limited staff. Appraisal districts aggressively settle appeals since they have only 65 days to settle most of the appeals. Protect your home by appealing property taxes annually.
